UNSPSC 95121618: Marina

A harbor with wharfs keeping boats and yachts and with services for recreational boating

UNSPSC 95121618 Marina (Commodity) encompasses floating waterfront structures and mooring facilities that state and local governments procure for public water access, recreation, and environmental restoration. Recent state and local solicitations reveal a market driven primarily by dock replacement, pier rehabilitation, boat launch construction, and derelict vessel removal—work spanning new marina infrastructure, seawall tieback installation, floating dock and gangway fabrication, and coastal habitat stabilization using artificial reef materials. Issuing bodies include waterfront cities and counties across coastal Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Mississippi; regional transit authorities managing passenger ferry infrastructure; special-purpose districts such as water authorities and research reserves; and school districts maintaining waterfront recreational facilities. Florida municipalities dominate recent activity, with repeat buyers including City of Long Beach (marine infrastructure improvements), Escambia County (derelict vessel removal under FWC grant programs), Pinellas County (marine construction work order contracts), Chatham County Parks & Recreation (on-call dock and boardwalk repair), and Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (artificial reef deployment and habitat restoration).

Recent solicitations illustrate the scope: City of Long Beach Department of Public Works issued R-7292 Marine Stadium Electrical Infrastructure (PW27805, ITB, due November 18, 2026) for utility distribution to waterfront parking and facilities; Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration procured for MDMR material deployment by barge to artificial reef sites (3160008295, ITB, due November 16, 2026); City of Fort Myers solicited derelict vessel removal services on continuing contract with disaster-response capability (RFP26067, RFP, due November 10, 2026) covering inland waterways and shoreline locations across Lee County; Chatham Area Transit Authority requested design and construction of a ferry dock and shelter at Plant Riverside in Savannah (PE33123NONST2027000000011, RFP, due November 6, 2026) under Federal Transit Administration funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage; and St. Pete Beach advertised pier rehabilitation following hurricane damage (7THAVEPIER2026, IFB, due November 4, 2026). Work is distributed across Florida, Texas (GLO projects for spoil island protection and shoreline erosion control), Georgia (transit and county parks systems), Mississippi (estuarine research reserves and reef deployment), and Pacific Northwest (Columbia River vessel removal). Private and public funding sources include state tideland funds, FEMA disaster recovery, FWC grant programs, Federal Transit Administration, Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA), and municipal capital budgets; prevailing wage and project labor agreement requirements apply to federal and state-funded projects. Set-asides and preferences vary—DBE participation goals appear in Federal Transit Administration projects; VetHUB subcontracting plans are required by Texas GLO solicitations; local-vendor preferences are available in Florida (Brevard County, Daytona Beach, Broward County) and Georgia (Lawrenceville). Competition remains active across the geographic footprint, with no single contractor or vendor class dominating.
